Testing Framework for TYPO3 CMS Extensions
There are no plans to support nimut/testing-framework for versions above TYPO3 v11. You are advised to switch to the
typo3/testing-framework for TYPO3 v12 and above. The typo3/testing-framework has improved support for testing more
than one version of the core. Further information and an introduction can be found in the official TYPO3 documentation:

[![Latest Stable Version](https://img.shields.io/packagist/v/nimut/testing-framework.svg)](https://packagist.org/packages/nimut/testing-framework)
[![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/travis/Nimut/testing-framework/master.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/Nimut/testing-framework)
[![StyleCI](https://styleci.io/repos/81999184/shield?branch=master)](https://styleci.io/repos/81999184)
The aim of the testing framework is to provide a good way to write and run unit and functional tests for multiple versions
of the TYPO3 CMS. Currently **TYPO3 CMS 9.5 up to 11.5** are tested and supported.
## Installation
Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install the testing framework.
```bash
composer require --dev nimut/testing-framework
```
Composer will add the package as a dev requirement to your composer.json and install PHPUnit and vfsStream as its
dependencies.
## Usage
### Unit Tests
Inherit your test class from `\Nimut\TestingFramework\TestCase\UnitTestCase`.
To execute the unit tests of your extension run
```bash
vendor/bin/phpunit -c vendor/nimut/testing-framework/res/Configuration/UnitTests.xml \
typo3conf/ext/example_extension/Tests/Unit
```
#### ViewHelper
For an easy way to test your Fluid ViewHelper you can inherit the test class from `\Nimut\TestingFramework\TestCase\ViewHelperBaseTestcase`.
You should setup your subject class in your setUp() method of the test class:
```php
/**
* @var \PHPUnit_Framework_MockObject_MockObject
*/
protected $viewHelper;
protected function setUp()
{
parent::setUp();
$this->viewHelper = $this->getMockBuilder(RenderChildrenViewHelper::class)->setMethods(['renderChildren'])->getMock();
$this->injectDependenciesIntoViewHelper($this->viewHelper);
$this->viewHelper->initializeArguments();
}
```
### Functional Tests
Inherit your test class from `\Nimut\TestingFramework\TestCase\FunctionalTestCase`.
To execute the functional tests of your extension run
```bash
vendor/bin/phpunit -c vendor/nimut/testing-framework/res/Configuration/FunctionalTests.xml \
typo3conf/ext/example_extension/Tests/Functional
```
### Extension preparation
You can add a script section to your `composer.json` file to symlink your extension to the proper root-dir/web-dir.
```json
"scripts": {
"post-autoload-dump": [
"@prepare-extension-test-structure"
],
"prepare-extension-test-structure": [
"Nimut\\TestingFramework\\Composer\\ExtensionTestEnvironment::prepare"
]
}
```
### Database abstraction
To be able to test against TYPO3 CMS 8 and later, nimut/testing-framework provides an own database abstraction layer.
In your FunctionalTestCase call `$this->getDatabaseConnection()` to get an instance of
`\Nimut\TestingFramework\Database\DatabaseInterface`.
Following database functions are built in the nimut/testing-framework database interface:
- select
- selectSingleRow
- selectCount
- insertArray
- lastInsertId
- updateArray
- delete
- getDatabaseInstance
If you need own database requests you can get the proper database instance of the current TYPO3 version by using
`$this->getDatabaseConnection()->getDatabaseInstance()`. You have to check weather this instance is a
`\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Database\Query\QueryBuilder` (TYPO3 CMS 8 and above) or an instance of
`\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Database\DatabaseConnection` (TYPO3 CMS 7).
#### Database fixtures
The nimut/testing-framework ships database fixtures for several TYPO3 CMS core database tables:
- pages
- pages_language_overlay
- sys_file_storage
- sys_language
- tt_content
To use the database fixtures you can trigger an import in your test file
```php
$this->importDataSet('ntf://Database/pages.xml');
```
### Frontend requests
The nimut/testing-framework ships an own TypoScript file for supporting frontend requests out of the box.
```php
// First import some page records
$this->importDataSet('ntf://Database/pages.xml');
// Import tt_content record that should be shown on your home page
$this->importDataSet('ntf://Database/tt_content.xml');
// Setup the page with uid 1 and include the TypoScript as sys_template record
$this->setUpFrontendRootPage(1, array('ntf://TypoScript/JsonRenderer.ts'));
// Fetch the frontend response
$response = $this->getFrontendResponse(1);
// Assert no error has occured
$this->assertSame('success', $response->getStatus());
// Get the first section from the response
$sections = $response->getResponseSections();
$defaultSection = array_shift($sections);
// Get the section structure
$structure = $defaultSection->getStructure();
// Make assertions for the structure
$this->assertTrue(is_array($structure['pages:1']['__contents']['tt_content:1']));
```
#### Structure
The returned structure of a frontend request is an array with some information about your page and its children.
```php
[
// Page for your request
'pages:1' => [
'uid' => '1',
'pid' => '0',
'sorting' => '0',
'title' => 'Root',
// Array with subpages
'__pages' => [
'pages:2' => [
'uid' => '2',
'pid' => '1',
'sorting' => '0',
'title' => 'Dummy 1-2',
],
'pages:5' => [
'uid' => '5',
'pid' => '1',
'sorting' => '0',
'title' => 'Dummy 1-5',
],
],
// Array with content elements
'__contents' => [
'tt_content:1' => [
'uid' => '1',
'pid' => '1',
'sorting' => '0',
'header' => 'Test content',
'sys_language_uid' => '0',
'categories' => '0',
],
],
],
]
```
If you need additional information about a record, you can provide additional TypoScript with the needed configuration.
```php
// Setup the page with uid 1 and include ntf and own TypoScript
$this->setUpFrontendRootPage(
1,
array(
'ntf://TypoScript/JsonRenderer.ts',
'EXT:example_extension/Tests/Functional/Fixtures/TypoScript/Config.ts'
)
);
```
Content of the TypoScript file *Config.ts*
```
config.watcher.tableFields.tt_content = uid,_ORIG_uid,_LOCALIZED_UID,pid,sorting,sys_language_uid,header,categories,CType,subheader,bodytext
```
